Jenna Ortega is receiving positive reactions from fans after stepping onto the red carpet in a striking look that showed off a different side of her signature style. The actress attended the premiere of Klara and the Sun at the 70th BFI London Film Festival on October 15, where some social media users commented that she appeared “healthier” following previous online discussions about her noticeably slim appearance.
For the occasion, the Wednesday star traded her signature goth-inspired aesthetic for a custom Torlowei Fall/Winter 2026 gown. The honey-colored dress featured delicate black lace embroidery along the neckline, with additional embroidered details scattered near the hem. The matching honey-colored straps complemented the warm tone of the gown, while an AYSHA Leavers lace cap added an unexpected finishing touch.

The actress wore her dark hair down in soft waves with a middle part, completing the look with understated styling that allowed the intricate dress to stand out.
Ortega’s latest appearance comes after she faced a wave of online concern in August 2026, following a video interview for Esquire’s “How I Got Here” series. In the video, she wore a beige tank top, and some viewers commented on her slim frame and pronounced facial features and collarbones. Her appearance prompted comparisons to other celebrities whose weight has also been discussed online.
During the interview, the 24-year-old recalled going entire days without food or water as a young child actor because she did not want to inconvenience adults on set. Her comments added another dimension to the online conversation about the pressures she experienced while growing up in the entertainment industry.
Although Ortega did not directly address the speculation about her appearance, her sister, Aliyah Ortega, appeared to defend her privacy. Aliyah left three exclamation points in the comments of an Instagram post urging people to respect the actress’s boundaries and “mind their business.”
At the London Film Festival, however, some fans shifted their attention to Ortega’s latest fashion moment, praising her look and expressing relief at what they perceived as a change in her appearance.
Fans React
“Looks a lot healthier and really pretty! Love the dress,” one person wrote.
“Oh my god, this woman is so beautiful, and she also regained the weight she lost in a very short time. I hope she's doing well now, away from people who affect her mental health,” another commenter said.
“Proof that healthy people look best,” one person added.
“She is looking healthier now,” another wrote.
While fans celebrated Ortega’s appearance and the elegant gown, comments about her weight remain speculation based on photographs and videos.
She has not confirmed the assumptions circulating online, and her latest red-carpet appearance does not establish anything about her health.
